Tragedy struck again yesterday as 18 persons were reportedly burnt to death, in an accident involving a truck and an 18-seater bus on the Benin-Ore-Lagos Road.
The accident reportedly occurred near Okada town, in Ovia North-east Local Government Area of Edo State when an on coming bus veered off its track,while trying to avoid bad spots, and rammed into the bus which burst into flames.

The bus, according to witnesses was travelling from Lagos to the eastern part of the country.
“We were watching helplessly as the bus was on fire with the occupants. There was no help in sight, there was nobody to help, there was nothing we could do,” said one of the witnesses.

At press time, a senior official of the Federal Roads Safety Commission (FRSC) at the old Benin toll gate confirmed the incident but the commission’s spokesman, Olu Olumotomi, said he was still expecting the details of the accident.

He said his men were still at the scene evacuating the victims to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH).
